Expeditions

[Specialka]

What is the point of expedition?

The azerite gain is terrible for the time asked.

Unless you finished every single WQ, there is no need to do them.

Or am I missing something?

[Toho]

Too bad there are no naval fights between your fleet and the enemy's.

[Harbour]

Yeah, i was surprised the rewards sucks so much, especially since even Easy bots are really tryhards and gave us the challenge.
I was definitely impressed by AI. Its good.

I think there is a weekly reward you grind towards with the azerite you gather from the islands. I was kind of looking forward to the pvp one but apparently you cannot solo queue so screw it.

[Flurryfang]

I think it is supposed to be there to be some form of variation in the different forms of content that you do, like a supplement to dungeons and raids instead of a replacement or a competitor.

The only reason you should do them is for the MASSIVE Azerite bonus for completling a specific number of expeditions or because you like the challenge.

[Nalera]

There is a weekly quest to complete 5 for 2500 azerite. Other than that they are shit. I mean 15-20 min for 300 azerite? Who balanced this, wq take like 3 min and offer similar rewards.

[Specialka]

Yeah, thought so.

Screw that then.

Where's that quest, I don't think I've seen it.

its at flinn and on the table, when you go to que look at the top, there is a bar that fills, 40,000, you can lose and still get your credit, and if you go over (lets say are at 5990 and get 100) you will get that extra added

just do the weekly "collect 40,000" after that you are not really meant to farm it like AP, you can get it, but your not supposed to grind it

[Torto]

The rewards excluding the weekly are rather poor. But what really bothers me is that they're just so incredibly unfun.

Actually, it reminded me of grinding coins in Timeless Isle. Some people really enjoyed that, I certainly didn't.

You get it automatically every week. You don't see it in your quest log but you can see the reward bar on the Expeditions queue screen.

Queued, played for like 5 minutes, and then left. They're slow paced and nothing that can be called fun. AP farm .. bleh.

If they made Island expiditions solely for a weekly reward the basic design is incredibly flawed. I've done a couple of them and I still cannot figure out why I did them. They reward absolutely NOTHING.

Are you saying this is content Blizzard doesn't want anyone to like, but just do for the weekly reward and not touch at all beyond that? I know you like to vehemently defend Blizzard, but this is ridiculous.

Yep. If they reduced hp and damage of all mobs by half and doubled the reward, it still wouldn't be too lucrative.

[Dreadlack]

Expeditions feel absolutely awful in every single aspect. They're horribly boring and the rewards are shit. Needs to see drastic change or it will become completely dead content.

people like it, me for example, but if your only after azerite and dislike it, just get your 40,000 then your done dont need to do it anymore.

Not only aren't they fun but they seem.. unfinished. Lack of rewards is gonna kill it the same exact way as MoP scenarios

Lack of tank/healer also kills it.

[Thestuff1992]

That’s not true. All the groups I was in that actually won were triple dps. Hell I went in as a tank for one of them and the 2 that qued together asked me to go dps. Definitely doable and imo even easier if all 3 dps are good.

I personally enjoy the expeditions but I don’t do more than what’s required for the weekly. Might do some mythic ones at some point for fun but not sure.

Where have you been the last couple of years? This has been WoW's design philosophy at least since WoD, when Mr. Hazzikostas took over. No repeatable activity aside from raiding (and now m+) is allowed to be even moderately rewarding for anybody, because they don't want raiders to feel "forced" to do anything in order to "keep up".

Recruit the arch Elitist Jerks virgin himself as lead dev and this is what you get. Raiding raiding raiding and "managed" "fun" for everyone else.
